Much as I enjoyed him in Night Court, my fondest memory regarding him was one of his SNL appearances, where he was there as amagician, not as a guest host. He did a great rapid-fire comic magic act that is still, to this day, one of the best pieces of stage magic I have ever seen done. It was fast, it was simple, and it was every bit as entertaining and impressive as a stage illusion involving hundreds of thousands of dollars in tricked-out props and multiple assistants to pull off. A friend of mine wanted to audition for America's Got Talent, with some of his larger stage illusions...I showed him that clip to explain a small, si.ple set of really good tricks could have just as much impact as any large-scale illusion...more, in my estimation, because there's nithing preset on the stage and everything happens right there in front of the audience without any apparent trick prop

I remember him being one of the first comedy magicians I saw who was actually good at magic.

My favorite bit of trivia about Night Court was that they wanted Bull to look big, but they already had Harry Anderson and John Laroquette, who were both 6'4. Apparently it was not easy finding a bailiff who could loom over them.

Thank you, Facemaker, for reminding me of his SNL appearances! I'd forgotten all about those. He was a lot of fun.
